Hezbollah's Strategic Rocket Arsenal that showering Israel

VikingS SG

So far Haifa has been hit by Fajr-3 and the longer range Fajr-5 has been used against Afula and Hadera. The missile with 100-200km range is probably the Iranian Zelzal-2 and has not yet been used.

As to pictures just google a bit

An Israeli Arab man is rescued from the rubble at the site of a Hezbollah rocket attack in the northern Israel coastal town of Haifa Sunday Aug. 6, 2006. Hezbollah rockets crashed into Haifa Sunday, killing three people and injuring dozens of people, in a heavy barrage on Israel's third largest city. Earlier in the day 12 Israelis were killed in another attack in northern Israel

And you havent yet admitted that Hizbolla strikes Haifa

VikingS,

Yes, yes .. Both Hadera and Afula, which are further than Haifa, were hit by two Fajr-3/5. From the pic of the rocket debris .. Fajr-5 had hit Afula and Fajr-3 had hit Hadera.

However, in Haifa's numerous rocket attacks of date, not one pic shows rocket debris was shown.

And you havent yet admitted that Hizbolla strikes Haifa

Yes, Hizbollah has said so before... and somebody must be attacking them. But Hez do not have many Fajr-3 and launching those many 5m long rockets are a death wish. They can be spotted by the naked eyes.

However, they have plenty of home made Kat Rockets .. but they do not have the range.

Shotgun SG

Sometimes i feel the Hezbollah WANTS to be spotted launching those rockets. Whenever Israeli jets bombs them, they unavoidably happen to hit those children the Hezbollah surround their rockets with.

Its a dirty game. Eventually, it may not be the rockets that do the most damage to the Israeli campaign, but the Israeli retaliatory actions. Hezbolla knows that and plays that card well.

no rocket debris ? ... this then ? ...

but what's the point ? .... you're going to say they are faked anyways ? .... are you insinuating that the Israelis are bombing themselves to justify bombing lebanon ? ..... you're just going to see what your mind wants you to see, eh ? ...

but then again, it's not about relativity here, at least for the Israelis, their intended targets were terrorists and missile launchers, it's saddening and unfortunate that there were innocents killed, but of course, even a smart bomb is blind, you'd have to question though, why are they hiding among civilians ? ....... for the terrorist/neo-fascists .... their deliberate and intended targets of the rockets were civilians, women, children, not military, pure and simple ...... is it the same ? .... not in my books .....

MobyDog SG

Still a fact, that the photo did not show any rocket parts…

Fatum SG

first you're saying the debris' missing , then now it's rocket parts ....... one really just sees what one wants to see eh .....

again ... are you implying that the israelis were bombing their own people to justify bombing lebanon ? .....

oh well ... whatever makes you happy, if that's where you stand ....

MobyDog SG

No... I said 'Rocket Debris' (check my post).. I then used 'Rockets parts' because I had the impression that you had misinterpreted. The booster section of rockets usually will survive..

Fatum SG

I do remember the larger hole thing .... but first thing first ...

back to my little question yet again ... are you implying that the Israelis are bombing themselves ? .....

or are you trying to be relative here by saying that the shower of rockets against civilian targets were nothing compared to what the Israelis were doing to lebanon ? ....

whatever the case, would you like to do a little UNBIASED googling yourself ? ...

I strongly believe though, that on the internet, or whatever mass media you choose, one only sees what one wants to see ..... so is it a case of being balanced and showing what goes on on the other side, or is it a case of being biased again a particular side in this conflict ? ....

MobyDog SG

No, But Israel is really over-doing and beyong their reason to save two soldiers and eradicating Hezbollah.... for self-defence and is absolutely right.

lionnoisy SG

more images of rockets

Fatum SG

caveat: I'll say this out loud and before hand ... this IS a jewish site ....

but is your mind open enough to allow a view from the "other side" ? ....

well.. the photo fraud has been acknowledged by reuters already, but the destruction is undeniable true... that photo was spiced up for effect only.

As usual, the Conservative US sources point finger tat China for the technologies behind Fajr-1/5

The Smoking Missile

http://www.jamestown.org/publications_details.php?volume_id=415&issue_id=3837&article_id=2371390

On July 14, just two days after the conflict erupted, an Anti-Ship Cruise Missile (ASCM) launched from the coast of Lebanon hit an Israeli Hanit (Spear) Saar 5 corvette, an anti-aircraft warfare ship that is said to be the best in its class. Not fatally damaged, the vessel managed to return to active service after a couple of weeks of repairs, but four servicemen were killed in the fire caused by the hit. A second missile hit an Egyptian merchant ship. Positively identified by its electronic signature as a Chinese-made C-802, the existence of such a missile in Hezbollahs arsenal had been unknown to Israeli intelligence. Designated in China as the YJ (Yingji)-8 (or 82), around 60 to 75 (some say 125) C-802s had been delivered to Iran by 1997. Several of them subsequently found their way into Hezbollah hands. In addition, Arab sources have reported that Iran had supplied Hezbollah with Chinese-made Houdong fast-attack crafts (al-Sharq al-Awsat, July 29) as well as with Chinese-made multiple barrel rocket launchers, including the 12-tube Type 63 (also known as the Fajr-1) and the WS-1/WS-1B, which was redesigned by Iran as the Fajr-5 (Strategic Update, July).
